Minecraft streamer Ranboo gives the most awkward handshake at Twitch Rivals

Ranboo is one of the most popular Minecraft streamers in the world. He has nearly four million YouTube subscribers and three million Twitter followers. However, all that clout doesn't exempt him from a bit of social awkwardness every now and then.

Ranboo was at an event for Twitch Rivals and Streamer Bowl 3 when he gave one of the most awkward handshakes to ever grace the Internet.

Minecraft streamer Ranboo shakes hands in incredibly awkward fashion

Almost everyone has at least one awkward experience involving handshakes. No one is safe from that occurrence, not even incredibly popular Minecraft streamers. There are so many different types of commonly used handshakes and greetings, so it's not surprising when people mistake one for another.

Ranboo was meeting another attendee of the event when hilarity ensued. It was made even more awkward because there was about a three second pause before the handshake even occurred.

A fist (which was clearly a fist and not an open hand) was outstretched for a couple of seconds before Ranboo decided to reach for it with an open hand. Many people might have noticed it sooner and adjusted, but the same can't be said here.

Unfortunately, it never got less awkward as Ranboo then reached in with both hands and held on tightly. When something awkward like this happens, it's not a bad idea to just lean into the discomfort.

Several reactions have been posted, with many laughing at the Minecraft streamer's misfortune. At least one said they'd like to have an awkward shake with Ranboo themselves.

Others are considering it one of the worst and most awkward handshake attempts to ever land on the Internet.

A few simply shared their disappointment in whatever Ranboo was trying to do.

It's safe to say that Ranboo will think long and hard when giving a handshake to a stranger in the future. He probably doesn't want to relive this incident any time soon and is will likely take the next one slowly to ensure he gets it right.
